Change ENVIRONMENT

CHANGE Environment is a project coordinated by JRS Europe and implemented in 7 countries – Belgium, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, Spain and Uganda. The goal of the project is to educate young students on the issues of environmental change and human migration, and how they interact.

The three components of the CHANGE methodology

Critical thinking

CHANGE Environment, through a 4–stage educational course, aims to encourage students to think critically on environmental change, human migration and their interaction. It also aims to help students excercise judgement to distinguish facts from opinions, and to recognise prejudices, propaganda and stereotypes. In this way, students will be able to make their own, well-founded judgments. By giving students meaningful knowledge, experiences, encounters, and new perspectives, CHANGE Environment seeks to form young people who are ready to face and embody their role in building a sustainable society in which everyone is welcome and has the opportunity to participate.

Empathy

CHANGE Environment provides a platform for refugees to share their stories directly with students, enabling refugees to speak in classrooms, and to share their experience of living in Europe, as well as their hopes and dreams for the future. Through this platform, CHANGE Environment will provide a opportunity for encounter between refugees and young people, with the goal to foster a sense of understanding and connection.

Participation

Another component of CHANGE Environment is the Student Ambassador programme, which encourages students to get more involved and to engage in concrete actions, such as small-scale events, campaigns or service projects, to share what they have learned with their school or local communities. Students then communicate these experiences across social media using the hashtag #IamCHANGE.
